Hello. As you may/may not know, I'm working to get a XT working; but I
don't have to many of the origional componets. I have the origional XT's
monitor and case, but my graphics card is by Multitech, mostly with Chips
by a company called Chips (They made the graphics stuff in the IBM Thinkpad
365ED's.), and it's model number (I guess) is PB85101. It does have a
composite video adapter on the end, as well as a monitor connection. There
are two large processors identical in size and shape to the 8088 (but it
probably isn't), but made by Chips. There is also a bus adapter, chips are
also made by Toshiba and TI on this thing. It has EGA stamped all over it,
so I'm wondering what I should do.
Thanks,
Tim D. Hotze

"CHIPS" is Chip & Technologies.
Well, Sounds like you gotten a great chipset type: it can emulate EGA
driving any monitor TTL, CGA while in EGA. Very good.
I think C&T first chipset was this kind that allowed low cost
computers to happen. Then C&T did in 286 and 386 chipsets including
cached types as well. Not too bad chipset for 286 but tends to be
bit slower in 386 especially at higher mhz.
Now C&T is focusing only on video chipsets for portable applications
only mainly driving flat panels.
